Zelensky denounces Russia's UN Security Council presidency as "absurd and destructive" for Ukraine.

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky has called Russia leading the United Nations Security Council while Vladimir Putin stands accused of war crimes in Ukraine "absurd" and speaks to the "total bankruptcy" of the global body. Russia assumed the presidency of the Security Council on Saturday, infuriating Ukraine. The International Criminal Court last month issued a warrant for Putin's arrest, accusing him of war crimes in Ukraine, including an alleged scheme to deport Ukrainian children to Russia.
